Hello FAST!

 

Exciting news – The Walt Disney Company announced a cage-free commitment for China and Hong Kong locations. Disney has pledged to be fully cage-free for both shell and liquid eggs by 2030. Compassion in World Farming has been working with Disney for over four years. We view this policy as a great first step and will continue to work with Disney to ensure combination/limited access systems are not included in its supply chain, as well as expand Disney’s commitment to a true global policy throughout the world.

 

Timeline: CIWF has been working with Disney since 2020 in the APAC region.

 

Groups involved: Compassion in World Farming, The Accountability Board, Mercy For Animals, The Humane League, and Humane Society International

  • CIWF apologizes for excluding any other groups that were in contact with Disney – we are going off the engagement on Slack! We know this was a coalition effort and are excited to jointly celebrate on behalf of hens.

 

CIWF has celebrated this news on our website here and here, as well as social media channels:

 

Congratulations to everyone working on this win!!

Hello FAST members   Two months ago we submitted to the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria  (Senasa), an agency attached to the  Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario y Riego  (Midagri), a regulatory proposal aimed at incorporating specific provisions of Animal welfare in the land transport of farm animals. Currently, national legislation only addresses health and hygiene requirements, without establishing criteria to guarantee minimum welfare conditions during transport. This regulatory gap has negative consequences, as it increases animal suffering and the incidence of injuries and mortality, particularly in situations of stress or accidents during transport. Our proposal seeks to align Peruvian regulations with the regional and international standardsIn this sense, we highlight the positive openness of Midagri and Senasa to evaluate the initiative and the relevance of the interest expressed by the Comunidad Andina, which has been promoting regulatory harmonization in this area among member countries.  In this regard, we have already held a meeting with the group of lawyers from both institutions, as well as with the Andean Community, advancing discussions toward the creation of a joint guide to animal welfare in the Peruvian land transportation system. We trust that the incorporation of animal welfare criteria in transport will represent a significant advance in both animal protection and welfare in the country. Great day, Iselda Livoni Arba Peru
